The following function retries the value in a column with a given name, in a given row.
function getByName(colName, row) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var col = data[0].indexOf(colName);
if (col != -1) {
return data[row-1][col];
}
}
Specifically, var col = data[0].indexOf(colName);
looks up the given name in the top row of the sheet. If it’s found, then the value in the given row of that column is returned (row-1
is used to account for JavaScript indices being 0-based).
To test that this works, try something like
function test() {
Logger.log(getByName('Price', 4)); // Or whatever name or row you want
}
